NCT06338215

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test two advices on alcohol drinking in more than 10.000 Spanish adult drinkers (men of 50 or more years and women of 55 or more years). The main question it aims to answer is to test the non-inferiority advice of a moderate alcohol drinking pattern on all-cause mortality and other chronic disease like cardiovascular disease, cancer or type 2 diabetes. Participants will receive during 4 years an advice to drink alcohol following a Mediterranean Alcohol Drinking Pattern (MADP): consuming alcohol in moderation, avoidance of binge drinking and preference for red wine. Researchers will compare those who will receive a MADP advice with those who will receive an advice on abstention to see if the advice on MADP is not inferior than the abstention advice to prevent all-cause mortality and other chronic diseases.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison between groups of the incidence of a global Index of all-cause mortality and other alcohol-related diseases

    Global index of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, any invasive cancer, liver cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, depression, dementia, injury requiring hospital admission, tuberculosis or other infections requiring hospitalization evaluated from the information on clinical records.

    From enrollment to the end of the intervention up to 4 years.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison between groups of the incidence of the most severe outcomes

    From enrollment to the end of the intervention up to 4 years

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Comparison between groups of invasive cancer incidence with extended follow-up

    From the enrollment up to 10 or more years of follow-up

Study Arms (2)

Moderation

EXPERIMENTAL

Advice about alcohol intake following a Mediterranean Alcohol Drinking Pattern: Moderation (7 or less drinks/wk in women and 14 or less drinks/wk in men), avoidance of binge drinking, consumption of alcohol with meals and preference for red wine.

Behavioral: Moderate Alcohol Drinking PatternBehavioral: Abstention

Abstention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Advice on alcohol abstention.

Behavioral: Moderate Alcohol Drinking PatternBehavioral: Abstention

Interventions

Remotely Intensive intervention by specialized coaches (psychologists, dietitians, and other health professionals) to promote a behavior change on alcohol consumption. Repeated quarterly small group sessions and periodical personal interviews and educational videos, during up to 4 years with 1 contact every 3 months. Goals of intervention: 1. moderate consumption (7 or less drinks/wk for women, 14 or less drinks/wk for men) of red wine (a drink=150 ml). 2. always during meals 3. spread out throughout the whole week, and 4. avoidance of binge-drinking episodes. No participant will be invited to start or increase his/her alcohol intake.
